And the winner is…

Congratulations to Levina and Addy M., the final winners of our Style Skins contest with MTV and Diesel! Levina and Addy's fresh takes on the styles of Michelle and Tony's characters won each of them a trip to NYC to style actors Rachel Thevenard (Michelle) and James Newman (Tony) for the MTV SKINS premiere party. They'll also be raiding the Diesel clothing store on 5th Avenue for a brand new $1000 wardrobe!

Michelle's New Look

Got a lust for lifeby Levina L."Rachel Thevenard: 'Michelle's style is sexy, fliratious, girly, and she wears a lot of layers.'
Leather, lace, and ruffles."

Tony's New Look

A Douche but Dapperby Addy M."Groomed but disheveled. Street smart but still classical American. Kind of like a well-groomed douchebag."

Big thanks to everyone who submitted a look, and to MTV and Diesel for the generous prizes. Don't forget to catch the premiere of the MTV Skins adapted for American audiences this Monday, Jan. 17 at 10/9c!

Here's Your Chance to Style the SKINS Cast

The hit British teen series SKINS is being adapted for American audiences, and it’s coming to MTV on Monday Jan. 17 at 10/9C. From now through 12/31, you can create a unique “SKINS look” for either Michelle or Tony’s character. Remember, SKINS is
real. So forget all those super high-end labels that no one can afford.

The 20 looks that
get the most love will be featured on skins.tv. From there, the actors themselves, along
with Series Costume Designer, Edward K. Gibbon, will choose the best look for each
character. The two winners will attend the SKINS premiere party in NYC on Jan. 15
and will style Rachel or James for the night. Winners will also receive a $1k shopping
spree each from the Diesel clothing store on Park Avenue, New York. So get styling
and go to skins.tv on Jan. 10 to see whose fashion sense pays off.
